Deliberate Design Flaw In ChatGPT-5 Sun Aug 17, 2025 08:04 | Mind Agent
Socratic Dialog Between ChatGPT-5 and Mind Agent Reveals Fatal and Deliberate 'Design by Construction' Flaw
This design flaw in ChatGPT-5's default epistemic mode subverts what the much touted ChatGPT-5 can do... so long as the flaw is not tickled, any usage should be fine---The epistemological question is: how would anyone in the public, includes you reading this (since no one is all knowing), in an unfamiliar domain know whether or not the flaw has been tickled when seeking information or understanding of a domain without prior knowledge of that domain???!
This analysis is a pretty unique and significant contribution to the space of empirical evaluation of LLMs that exist in AI public world... at least thus far, as far as I am aware! For what it's worth--as if anyone in the ChatGPT universe cares as they pile up on using the "PhD level scholar in your pocket".
According to GPT-5, and according to my tests, this flaw exists in all LLMs... What is revealing is the deduction GPT-5 made: Why ?design choice? starts looking like ?deliberate flaw?.
People are paying $200 a month to not just ChatGPT, but all major LLMs have similar Pro pricing! I bet they, like the normal user of free ChatGPT, stay in LLM's default mode where the flaw manifests itself. As it did in this evaluation.
AI Reach: Gemini Reasoning Question of God Sat Aug 02, 2025 20:00 | Mind Agent
Evaluating Semantic Reasoning Capability of AI Chatbot on Ontologically Deep Abstract (bias neutral) Thought
I have been evaluating AI Chatbot agents for their epistemic limits over the past two months, and have tested all major AI Agents, ChatGPT, Grok, Claude, Perplexity, and DeepSeek, for their epistemic limits and their negative impact as information gate-keepers.... Today I decided to test for how AI could be the boon for humanity in other positive areas, such as in completely abstract realms, such as metaphysical thought. Meaning, I wanted to test the LLMs for Positives beyond what most researchers benchmark these for, or have expressed in the approx. 2500 Turing tests in Humanity?s Last Exam.. And I chose as my first candidate, Google DeepMind's Gemini as I had not evaluated it before on anything.
Israeli Human Rights Group B'Tselem finally Admits It is Genocide releasing Our Genocide report Fri Aug 01, 2025 23:54 | 1 of indy
We have all known it for over 2 years that it is a genocide in Gaza
Israeli human rights group B'Tselem has finally admitted what everyone else outside Israel has known for two years is that the Israeli state is carrying out a genocide in Gaza
Western governments like the USA are complicit in it as they have been supplying the huge bombs and missiles used by Israel and dropped on innocent civilians in Gaza. One phone call from the USA regime could have ended it at any point. However many other countries are complicity with their tacit approval and neighboring Arab countries have been pretty spinless too in their support
With the release of this report titled: Our Genocide -there is a good chance this will make it okay for more people within Israel itself to speak out and do something about it despite the fact that many there are actually in support of the Gaza
China?s CITY WIDE CASH SEIZURES Begin ? ATMs Frozen, Digital Yuan FORCED Overnight Wed Jul 30, 2025 21:40 | 1 of indy
This story is unverified but it is very instructive of what will happen when cash is removed
THIS STORY IS UNVERIFIED BUT PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO OR READ THE TRANSCRIPT AS IT GIVES AN VERY GOOD IDEA OF WHAT A CASHLESS SOCIETY WILL LOOK LIKE. And it ain't pretty
A single video report has come out of China claiming China's biggest cities are now cashless, not by choice, but by force. The report goes on to claim ATMs have gone dark, vaults are being emptied. And overnight (July 20 into 21), the digital yuan is the only currency allowed.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11I know that you hippie protesters only know
about work by what you've read in a dictionary,
but there are many people who do actually work
for a living in this country, who risk losing
their jobs because of your recent acts of pure
vandalism. But, you lot won't care, because you'll
be busy protesting about something else at that
stage.
I notice that a lot of the people involved in
the protests are non-nationals and hope that they
will be kicked out of this country for their acts.
I for one am certainly not paying taxes to feed and house these worthless creatures.

Thanks for your views Robert. Unfortunately, you're wrong, misinformed, or mistaken on virtually every point.
for reducing these destructive forces coming on to our shores.
... who is not now, nor has ever been, a hippie, it seems to me that losing your job in Ireland is less severe a penalty than losing your life in Iraq.

They wont need to stop the flights now that the peace camp has been frightened off by military force.
Just because the so called peace camp occupants were mostly jobless wasters, does not mean that they have a right to deny other Irish citzens a job. Lots of things are wrong in this country, but it does not give you the right to commit criminal damage. Who will be the next target? Mc Donalds in Cork City???? According to your logic you would be a great here altogether if you smashed a few of their windows. Grow up and cop on to yourself.
There are many ways of damaging things. Smashing windows, and nose-wheels, is only one of them.
"Yet each man kills the thing he loves,
By each let this be heard,
Some do it with a bitter look,
Some with a flattering word.
The coward does it with a kiss,
The brave man with a sword!"

Just taking this one issue out of roberts dire tribe !
We need HARD information on the economic value of the stop overs
For instance this morning Today fms political coresspondant said it was 9 million euros last year
(if thats 40% then the ENTIRE air port is doing 42 million euros only !!)
In an interview with Kathy Sheridan in the Irish Times week end section Jan 18 th an Aer Rianta bod said 1% of business in the air port
I always thought these figures seemed very, very low
on the other hand the sudden discovery of the 40% seems ridiculously high!
Any one know could freedom opf information be used to get FACTS on the economic arguement
As to Robert's general argument - workers in the air port THEMSELVES have approached their union (the spineless SIPTU unfortunately) to ask about action. IF WE CAN CONTINUE TO BUILD THIS MOVEMENT WE MAY SEE IT. World Air ways or out we smelly, unemployed, mutant, hippy freakazoids are winning - more power to yeese !!

If "World" Airlines (the ones that sometimes use Aer Lingus colours) can pull out of Shannon why don't all the other military carriers follow?
Tony Killeen TD said jobs are threatened at Shannon by the peace protestors. RUBBISH. For one thing there is ABSOLUTELY NO THREAT to ordinary civil aviation. There is no threat of violence to ANYONE - (except that offered by George Bush).
Do you realise that the US and its allies caused a massive wave of job losses across Eastern Europe at the end of the Second world war by shutting down the concentration and extermination camps. Think of all those poor SS boys out of work, and what about the cleaning and construction staff? I mean who could be so naive as to think that principles (like opposition to mass murder) could possible be more important than JOBS.
More will follow, I'm just going to go out and get fucked up the ass by Bill Gates in the hope that Microsoft will stay around with their JOBS!
The decision by world airways to TEMPORARILY reroute military personnel ferry flights through fFrankfurt was taken before any of last weeks cations at Shannon. Rumours of this action surfaced amongst airport staff nearly two weeks ago, with official confirmation coming a week ago and public awareness of the sanction was being raised over the past week to highlight the economic punishments we may face if Bertie & Co. can't keep the military machine moving.
It should be remembered that unlike most US employers in the region, World Airways is utterly dependent on the US military for business.
Most US business interests in Ireland are unkely to participate in a sanctions regime against Ireland.
Such a response would be more threatening to their profits in Europe than US military outrage at being denied a base in Ireland would be at home.
Finally, on the refueling profits issue, Aer Rianta reports ought to be freely available as a semi-state company but a possible reading would be that fuel provides ~40% of turnover at Shannon but only contributes ~1% to Aer Rianta profits.
